bingethinker:So apparently, the one time you want your dog to bark and make a lot of noise, he'll lie quietly in a hole for hours.

I thought this too, but that dog was wedged down in there pretty tight in the muddy cold. He was probably in shock, too. But yeah, it makes me wonder if the dog had been trained not to bark. Golden labs? are smart and I would think they would bark in that circumstance if they could. Puzzling.

Border Collies are farking insane and see invisible demons and angels everywhere. They're also handy at herding and finding things. Good for the lab that a collie was on the case! That picture of them together looks like the lab just farted.

Next week:Andrew Eastell, owner of the dog that fell in the ravine and was recovered after a search and rescue operation of 53 hours submits plans to local council to cover the small ravine with wooden boards attached to the rocks. He is asked to submit a followup PEIS (Preliminary Environmental Impact Statement) to help determine what impacts, if any will have on local vegetation and other animals.The week after:Andrew Eastell, owner of the dog that fell into the ravine and was recovered after a search and rescue operation of 53 hours submits plans to local council to blow up half of the granite ravine with shape charges designed to prevent any other dogs, persons or other medium to large animals from becoming trapped and requiring search and rescue response from ever happening again. He is asked to submit a followup PEIS (Preliminary Environmental Impact Statement) to help determine what impacts, if any will have on local vegetation and other animals.

The third week after:Andrew Eastell, owner of the dog that fell into the ravine and was recovered after a search and rescue operation of 53 hours submits plans to local council to just back up a lorry to the spot and use the dump bed to fill in the small ravine between the cleaved granite faces designed to prevent any other dogs, persons or other medium to large animals from becoming trapped and requiring search and rescue response from ever happening again.

He is asked to submit a followup PEIS (Preliminary Environmental Impact Statement) to help determine what impacts the truck will have to the nearby parking lot, and soil and vegetation between the parking lot and the small ravine, as well as any impact on local vegetation and other animals near the small ravine./Andrew was just trying to help, but got frustrated.

Big pup got into quite a jam. Leave it to a border collie to figure things out. My experience with living with a border collie was 11 wonderful years but the dog was a farking genius and knew it. That's why I have Labs now. Not as smart but oh-so-lovable.
